If AOL is the biggest contributer on a project that is beneficial to the
whole world (MPL & standards conform), then something is wrong. Why
isn't there a higher proportion of "idealist" programmers and other
companies contributing? Either, there is something fishy about the legal
structure of this project, or mozilla.org doesn't do enough to attract
new contributers.
Maybe a web page with a "quick overview" and "quick instrctions" (and an
"easy2fix" keyword) wouldn't be such a bad idea ;)
